When The Voice returns for its newest season, which simply so occurs to be Blake Shelton’s ultimate yr with the long-running NBC sequence, it’s making some adjustments that stretch behind the teaching change-ups. And on high of all of that, followers can count on to see a real music legend as Season 23’s Mega Mentor, and one which shares private ties of various values to each Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton that ought to make for a really attention-grabbing level within the season.
The Voice Welcomes Again Reba McEntire
Season 23 will see the Grammy-winning multihyphenate icon Reba McEntire returning to The Voice as its newest Mega Mentor. This choice virtually looks as if a delayed prize for Blake Shelton having gained out in his penultimate season, with Bodie taking residence the metaphorical gold. Kelly Clarkson is sort of aware of the world of nation music herself, even inside the confines of The Voice’s competitors, so she additionally has a little bit of a leg up on the 2 latest coaches, Probability the Rapper and Niall Horan. (I can’t wait to see Probability and Reba chatting it up, although.)
Reba McEntire’s return to the present for this season is sort of significant for Shelton, whereas a private reference to Clarkson can be in play.
- The very first season of The Voice featured Reba McEntire as a Battle Advisor for Group Blake, and later returned in Season 8, advising all 4 of the groups in Week 12. (Shelton’s rivals that cycle had been Adam Levine, Pharrell and Christina Aguilera.) NBC’s announcement even drew consideration to the truth that it’s “most becoming” for McEntire to return and provides the nation crooner a full-circle expertise earlier than bowing out.
- Exterior of The Voice, Kelly Clarkson used to name Reba McEntire her sorta-mother-in-law when she was married to Brandon Blackstock, the legend’s stepson within the years she was married to his father Narvel Blackstock. Granted, Clarkson and Blackstock went by means of an advanced, music-inspiring divorce that had them buying and selling off their children through the holidays. So will it’s bizarre for the 2 to share the display in Season 23? Unlikely, since they’ve maintained their respect and friendship for each other, and are complete professionals in any other case.
Right here’s hoping Reba McEntire’s return to The Voice boosts curiosity within the long-discussed revival of her sitcom Reba, with Lifetime’s TV film Hammer having provided followers the newest co-star reunion.
